I stumbled across this Aussie anthem from Mark Seymour of Hunters and Collectors. A quick search on YouTube turned up an interesting evolution over the last 20 years.
Neil Finn has the interpretation I’m most familiar with: Throw Your Arms Around Me
Here’s the original version: Hunters and Collectors: Throw Your Arms Around Me
Eddie Vedder picked up on it and did it with Mark Seymour on tour in Australia
Listen to the crowd in this live version from a Finn Brothers show
Out of the Blue (OOTB), Oxford’s all-male acappella group performing after their first term together in 2007 at their November concert in Keble Chapel, Oxford.
I think my favorite version is by Louise Fraser and Dan Connolly
